cops suck
i wrecked my car tonight and the cop doesnt belive that i was doing anything wrong. he accused me of coming a diff direction than i was coming from and just loosing control of my car. i was pulling out of a parking lot turning right, yes i rolled the stop sign no cars around and my left rear tire wobled somehow and made me loose control and spin around and poped my front tire up on the curb scatching the **** out of my rims and the left rear hit and snaped the axel. the cop was a DICK............ just because im 18 doesnt mean im a dumbass. i know how to drive. the cop thinks im an idiot . i would have turned with the turn when it vers to the left (unless i wanted to wreck my car) so if i would have turned left the back wheel would have hit first not the front. so basically he thinks i wanted to wreck my car so i turned into the curb so i could spin around and make my front tire hit first. called me a liar to my face and i have 7 witnesses saying its not true, yet know one belives me.
how hard is it to change an axel, everything else is fine witht he eception of the rotor but thats play school, so what all will i have to do to chage a axel?
sorry about the story im just pissed off, had to get it out

Not trying to be a dick like the cop cuz it sounds like you got a raw deal, however, I am a fellow Mustang enthusiast who gets lumped into a stereotype because unexplainable stuff like this happens.
Good luck with the axle and I hope you get that "wobble" figured out.
Cheer up though, nobody got hurt and you could have hit something much worse than a curb. He didn't cite you did he?

RE: cops suck
Sorry to hear about your stang and sorry to hear about your bad experience with law enforcement. However, no ticket, no injury, no death, and no frame damage = bad day and not the end of the world.
The dude may have been a dick but it doesn't mean they all are. Fix the stang and watch the slippery stuff.

RE: cops suck
Is it just the axleshaft inside? Or the whole rear axle itself? If it's just the axleshaft it is a somewhat simple swap... check the stickies for my Cobra brake swap how-to... to swap the rears you gotta pull the axleshafts out... instructions on how to do that are in there.

RE: cops suck
Ah yes, I did that too, swung around, hitting my front right wheel and bending the left axle flange on my 31 spline axle (64 Fairlane 289 Hi-po). Oh btw, I was 17 at the time, and I definitely came outta there too hot. Ijust told the cop I F**KED up, he laughed and let me go. I just found out here in VA that would be wreckless driving, it appears here in the South, police don't have a sense of humor.

RE: cops suck
Listen take my advice...when dealing with the cops say as little as possible. Don't go out of your way to say this or that to them because frankly they don't give a sh*t. Trust me, i've have to deal with the cops more then I would have liked to and you know what? It was always all over BS everytime. Trust me, the less you say, the less they can use against you. I'm 22 by the way.
EDIT: You know something else that's sad? A lot of those cops, especially the younger ones have Camaros and Mustangs and Corvettes. So who the f**k are they trying to fool? They go out and do the same sh*t in their cars most of the time too. Just remember there's a time and place for everything, and every dog has his day. Or in this case...every pig.
